About Slug Generator

The URL Slug Generator transforms any title, headline, or phrase into a clean, URL-safe slug ready to use as a page permalink, file name, or API endpoint key. It strips punctuation, replaces spaces with your chosen separator (hyphen, underscore, or period), enforces lowercase, and uses Unicode-to-ASCII transliteration to convert accented and non-Latin characters—so a title like 'Ångström Über Straße' becomes 'angstrom-uber-strasse' automatically. Whether you're a developer building a CMS, a blogger setting up pretty URLs, or a content manager standardizing filenames, this tool produces consistent slugs in milliseconds.

Frequently Asked Questions

QWhat happens to accented characters like é, ü, or ñ?

The tool applies Unicode-to-ASCII transliteration, converting accented characters to their closest ASCII equivalent—for example, 'é' becomes 'e', 'ü' becomes 'u', and 'ñ' becomes 'n'.

QCan I use underscores instead of hyphens?

Yes. The separator field lets you choose between hyphens (-), underscores (_), or periods (.). Google treats hyphens as word separators, so hyphens are recommended for SEO.

QAre numbers kept in the slug?

By default, numbers are preserved. You can toggle the 'strip numbers' option if your slugs should contain only alphabetic characters.

QDoes slug generation follow any specific standard?

The output follows common CMS conventions used by WordPress, Gatsby, and similar platforms: lowercase characters, ASCII-only, with consecutive separators collapsed into one.
